Váthos Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, ALC, NCC, MA
Váthos Counseling – Therapy for Individuals, Adolescents, and Families in Birmingham
I am passionate about helping adults heal from the lasting impact of childhood trauma, parental loss, narcissistic abuse, and the complexities of codependency, especially where it affects self-worth and relationships.
I offer specialized adolescent counseling to support teens navigating identity formation, self-discovery, and emotional regulation. My goal is to help young people build a strong sense of self, increase resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies.
I also work with families affected by generational trauma and enmeshed dynamics, guiding them to break free from dysfunctional patterns and create more authentic, connected relationships.
Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your teen, or your family, I provide a compassionate space where healing and transformation can begin.

Luciana C. Silva
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Sometimes we find ourselves feeling stuck and hopeless about situations that, as hard as we try, we can’t seem to find a way out of. I partner with people from all walks of life to think through these situations in different ways, with special attention to the patterns and cycles that seem hidden in plain sight, and the possibilities for changing the only thing we can: ourselves. Changing how we react may not seem enough. Perhaps it seems unfair that we are the ones who ‘have’ to change. Yet…that’s where our power lies. If you’re ready to start reclaiming your agency and sense of Self – over anxiety, depression, relationship problems, family conflict, traumatic stress, and the stress of life transitions – give me a call and let’s chat and see if we can think together.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I have been a therapist for over 10 years and running my own company for the last 2. I use a combination of Biblical therapy as well as CBT. I truly care for my clients and desire them to have a more joyful life free of anxiety and depression. I have worked with many individuals, families, and marriages and have seen growth and freedom from stress achieved. I have seen marriages put back together and families and individuals before stronger. I also host a podcast with my wife and we cover topics such as marriage, narcissism, relationships, etc.

Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Cindy Yu is a bilingual (English and Mandarin Chinese) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of Florida, Alabama, and Illinois. She is well-trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, solution-focused therapy, Bowen’s theory, Gottman Method, CBT, and more. Cindy believes that each client is comprised of unique yet charismatic components such as personal upbringings, religious beliefs, and cultural backgrounds, that all contribute to narrate a cohesive personal story. This fundamental ideology has cultivated her into offering her clients unconditional positive regard and respect, while tailoring her treatment orientations to better serve each client’s individuality. Her passion is to help individuals, couples, and families to understand the misunderstood, to discover hope from the hopelessness, to speak the unspoken, and to seek possibilities through the impossible. Cindy also has a background in the medical field where she has obtained a strong foundational knowledge for medical diagnosis and medications. She understands the intricacy between medical burden and mental health.

EMDR and Wellness Solutions
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologists, Professional Counselors, Social Workers, and Marriage & Family Therapist
At EMDR and Wellness Solutions, we believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported. Our goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space where each person can explore their experiences, develop greater self-understanding, and create meaningful change.
Our healing team is made up of licensed psychologists, professional counselors, social workers, and a marriage and family therapist, allowing us to offer a broad range of perspectives and areas of expertise. We recognize that no two people are the same, and there is no single approach to therapy that works for everyone. Our clinicians draw from evidence-based and client-centered approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Person-Centered Therapy. The therapeutic approach is thoughtfully tailored to each client's individual needs, goals, preferences, and readiness for change.
We work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, mood disorders, and relational concerns. We also welcome individuals who may not have a specific diagnosis but are seeking greater insight into their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and patterns of behavior. Therapy can be an opportunity to better understand where these patterns come from, develop healthier ways of coping, strengthen relationships, and move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
We understand that beginning therapy can feel like a significant step. That is why we strive to create a therapeutic environment grounded in respect, compassion, and authenticity. Whether you are working through past experiences, navigating current challenges, seeking support in your relationships, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, we are here to walk alongside you.
To make care accessible and comfortable, EMDR and Wellness Solutions offers both in-person and teletherapy options. Wherever you are in your journey, our team is committed to meeting you where you are and helping you move toward where you want to be.
